Windows 7 Upgrading to Windows 7 64 -- Driver Questions

The computer has this CPU, which I think will run a 64 bit operating system, but correct me if I am wrong.

Intel® Core

The problem is that the dell website only has drivers for a 32-bit system-- what should I do?

The drivers that come up on the website are for removable hardware, Serial ATA, and AMD driver for the video card.

Thanks
 
Well, yes, the CPU supports x64. I'd say clean install x64 & just let Win7 find drivers by itself. Beyond that, after its live, go looking to the M/B for drivers, if need be but, via the M/B web site not, through Dell.

What model is your computer? If you are using the service tag to look for drivers, it may know your system was set up as a 32 bit.
 
If you click through some of the little arrows on any individual driver it, specifically compatibility I think it was, It has windows-7 64-bit listed. Does that mean I can use that driver for my system?
 
If they say Windows 7 x64 in the compatibility section, I would have to say yes, they should work.
